It's Better This Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's so far away, yeah, she's in America
And the water is wide, I love you, my love
It's been so long now since we held one another
You're still a part of my dreams
You're so far away, remember each day
It's better this way (yeah)
Let's live in the now, forget about history
Now you know we can't live in the past, this is reality
Got no control over the things that happen
And all the hurt that love can bring
You're so far away, remember each day
It's better this way (yeah)
I remember all those times
We went sailing on the moon
And love came down to see us
Everywhere, yes everywhere.
Now it all seems so wrong, that we have to be apart
But tomorrow we'll walk in the sun, and I'll love you, my love
Together we can write a different story
That never comes to an end
You're so far away, remember each day
It's better this way.
You're so far away, remember each day
It's better this way (yeah)
You're so far away, remember each day
It's better this way (oh darlin' darlin' darlin' yeah)
[Fade]
It's better this way
It's better this way
Lov'es gonna grow, love's gonna grow, it's better this way
